I travel, when I can. Write, when inspired. Photograph, where there's beauty. Make films, for a living. Oh, and I play a decent didjiridu.

Current ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #97

With
Against
Over
Bypass

All the ways I’ve learned
To make my way in life
Unconsciously, they become habit
Forgetting the current running through it all

I remind myself
Stand on the shore
Breathe in the quiet
Observe the current

Monolith

Monumental
Immense
Magnficent

Formidable
Immovable
Immutable

Rooted, gravitas

Where land and sky
And sea and sun meet
There the magic light
Comes twice daily

Glorious hours
Connect me
To all
In grace

Seen and unseen
Known
And unknowable

Mystery
And divinity

All that ever was
All that will be

All that is

Becomes

One

A different Tantalus
Every viewing
Just like
Everything else

No thing
No one
No place
No moment
No emotion
No insight

Is ever the same
One moment
To the next

Light and soft
My mood
My spirit
Charmed by the pastel sunset
Playing over
The gently rippled Sound

Driving down
From my mountain high
Headlights
Tail lights
Darkening sky

On the Sound
A sheen of cobalt and amber
Twilight
Cloud light
The last burning ember

A city beyond
Awaiting, my home
Hearthlight
Heart light
The end of my roam

Amid
The maelstrom
Of life
Which is

India

They wait
